"Bring me Wesley's head" Commitment thread

[Kain's Ancient Blade]

Hey Kain, patience my young padawan and Sue thanks for your support. I had internet problems, damn virgin's hide!!!

ok here goes nothing:

That is F'N awesome. I can't wait to get mine.

Thanks.

 

[thamesvalidude]

Damn That looks great.
You have a sweet collection there pal. Whats up with Willows outfit? That looks pretty great as well. Do you have any pics of her solo?

Here you go Anzik. Bit of a kitbash, head swap with a spare vamp willow and prphecy girl Buffy;s jacket.

 

[sueworld]

My god, you have got a load of figures!! Doesn't Wesley look wonderful though.

By the way, how easy was it to put the head on a new Sideshow body? I've never tried doing that before, so I could do with as many tips as possible, *g*

 

[Anzik]

Sue, I generally use a hot glue gun on custom heads so if I ever want to remove it for a repaint, or something I can do it. It holds up nicely under normal conditions too.

I just got three of them in the mail yesterday, very nice sculpt! I'll start working on them ASAP and get them out to the three gents who so kindly paid me for them.

was one of them mine?

hey Sue, the Wesley is awesome, Spenser is a real talent. I'm sure we'll be mithering (good Manchester word) him for a Fred and Gunn soon.
The head swap wasn't too hard, but I did lose some paint from the back of wesley's head as I got boiling water on it. The base body was a spare Pierce Brosnan and I thought I'd blown it when the head came away with the fixing mechanism still attached, fortunately I managed (by dipping it in boiling water) to prise it back on.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Awesome! God, I can't wait for mine to get here!

 

[Anzik]

Mr Postman, bring me Wes-Leeee......

Do you just glue the head to the body? Colour me dim, but why did you have to boil the head to get it attached to the body?

 

[thamesvalidude]

Hey Sue, The plastic on the neck needed to be softened to gain a snug fit onto the body. I didn't glue it as the cooling process tightens the bond anyway. The head is now as manouevrable as a standard sideshow head.

I've just had to retouch up the paint on the back of the head. The difficult bit was beheading Brosnan. I really thought I'd broken the figure.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

You can use a hair dryer if you don't want to risk boiling water.

 

[DarkArtist81]

was one of them mine?

Yes indeed!

 

[Anzik]

Josh I cannot wait to see what you do with this sculpt.

How long are you going to offer up your custom Wesley head to purchase? Is there a time frame I should be concerned about? I really want one, but not able to get enough scratch until after the holidays.
